Managing Memory
The memory management features for System 7 that were previously distributed under the
name System 7 Tune-Up have been incorporated into version 7.1. If you have been using
System 7 and did not install the Tune-Up software, you should now notice fewer "out of
memory" conditions.
In addition, you can now use the Info window to set the minimum amount of memory required
to open a program. When you wish to change the amount of memory for a program, use these
instructions rather than the instructions in the Macintosh User's Guide.
Changing the amount of memory a program uses
All open programs use a certain amount of your computer's random-access memory (RAM).
Each program sets aside the amount of memory it needs.
On rare occasions you may need to increase or decrease the amount of memory a program
sets aside for itself. You might want to increase the amount so you can open more
documents at once, or you might want to decrease it so you can open other programs at the
same time. You adjust the program's memory size in its Info window.
1. Quit the program if it's open, and then click the program's icon to select it.
2. Choose Get Info from the File menu.
The Info window appears.
